Schneiderman, Nuzzi Spar At Indy Office By Rick Murphy
Tw o v e t e r a n l a w m a k e r s , intelligent and well versed, respectfully but firmly making their case for elected office. No, it wasn’t an illusion – Chris Nuzzi, the challenger, and Jay Schneiderman, the incumbent, both made their case for the Second District County Legislature seat calmly but emphatically. Schneiderman has held the seat on the horseshoe since 2004; Nuzzi has served on the Southampton Town Board for nearly eight years. The pair went face-to-face Friday in a debate moderated by The Independent editorial staff. Odds makers would have bet on a much different scenario. A year ago, Schneiderman seemed a lock to run for East Hampton Town Supervisor – he previously held that position for two terms ending in 2003. Nuzzi, a two-term Southampton Town Board member, could have run for that town’s supervisor seat two years ago and was mentioned prominently as a candidate this time around. “The super visor’s job is a challenging position,” Schneiderman
noted. “My kids made the decision for me. They need their daddy. It’s not that the county legislature isn’t demanding, but town supervisor is 24/7.” Schneiderman, 51, has two children, ages 14 and 10. Nuzzi, 39, agreed. “My decision wasn’t based on polls. I have a personal life with four children [ages two to eight] and another career [title insurance].” Nuzzi also noted that he is originally from East Hampton and went to school there, so it gives him a chance to represent his hometown. The two parried over the financial condition of Suffolk County. Schneiderman said the county is recovering nicely from the 2008 recession under County Executive Steve Bellone. Schneiderman, an Independent, works closely with Bellone and the Democratic majority in the legislature. Nuzzi noted that the State Comptroller has labeled Suffolk “a distressed county” financially and that Bellone has relied on “one shot revenues” to right the ship rather than embark on a long-term plan. “We had to make decisions. We
had to rely on one-shot revenues while we moved toward reoccurring revenues,” Schneiderman said. “Now the numbers are looking much better.” “If things are so rosy why are we on the distressed list?” Nuzzi asked. “Of course the county exec is going to put out a statement minimizing the problem.” Schneiderman listed some of his achievements: he was instrumental in getting County Road 39 widened, for example. “The CR 39 bottleneck was devastating,” he pointed out. “That was a major issue.” Nuzzi, parrying, said, “That wasn’t the work of one individual. The cops and cones program was paid for by our town [Southampton]. There’s enough credit to go around.” Enter to Win a FIAT car said he was in Schneiderman the forefront to get county busses Only 250 Tickets Available Sold at $100 each th running on Sundays, to get the Drawing to be held on October 7 , 2012 sex offender At San Gennaro Feast Final Day trailers moved out of th th 5BYFT BSF SFTQPOTJCJMJUZ PG XJOOFS t 8JOOFST OFFE OPU CF QSFTFOU Riverside, and to get the Hidden Cove welfare motel in Hampton AM PM Bays closed.

“To the same county executive who supports you,” Nuzzi countered. “The timing is suspect.” Both candidates agreed the county health department hasn’t done enough to address the East End’s water quality issues. And that the East versus West divide on the horseshoe is more divisive than political parties. “Many of the issues aren’t those of a partisan nature, like erosion control,” Nuzzi commented. Both men concurred that the East End, though only nine percent of Suffolk’s population, is taxed disproportionately – 38 percent of the taxable value of the county. Both candidates touted their records. The county now makes new employees contribute 15 percent of their state pension requirements, and that the latest budget calls for no new layoffs, Schneiderman boasted. “We’ve cut staff by 15 percent [in Southampton] through attrition and early retirements,” Nuzzi declared. Ironically, two years from now, when the county legislature term is ending, the two men could be back where they started. Win or lose, Schneiderman reaches his term limitations, meaning he can’t go back to the legislature. Depending on what happens in East Hampton, he may revisit the Republican Party’s overtures then. “East Hampton needs to be brought together,” he said, noting the current town board has been “rancorous, bitter, and partisan.” Nuzzi who is a proven vote getter, will always be in demand in Southampton and even if he wins the legislature seat, he might have several options, perhaps even on the state level.

Countdown To Consensus By Kitty Merrill
The sand is slipping through the hourglass at a rapid rate. Last Thursday federal officials advised East Hampton Town lawmakers of a race to secure erosion mitigation and emergency repair funding that could be used for downtown Montauk. Thanks to a supplemental appropriations bill that created a $5.3 billion fund to pay for hurricane damage in the Northeast, repairs deemed of an emergency nature may be undertaken – if decisions are made quickly and the feds approve them. “We have a unique opportunity here,” Supervisor Bill Wilkinson explained. “The stars are aligned for one time.” While shoreline restoration and beach nourishment projects usually call for contributions from varied municipalities – the state, county and town – in this instance the feds will pick up the entire cost of installation, with the county and state on the hook for maintenance in the future. During a special meeting of the town board last Thursday, Sue

Marine Sciences Center Opens At Southampton College
IN THE NEWS
Independent / Stony Brook University
By Emily Toy
Last week Stony Brook University officials, along with faculty, students and state and local officials, gathered at the Southampton campus to celebrate the opening of the new Marine Sciences Center for the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. The new, two-story, 15,000-square foot Marine Sciences Center supports the growth of the SoMAS undergraduate marine science and environmental science programs, ultimately making it easier to offer more classes with rich experiential components such as marine biology,
marine mammals, and physical oceanography. The new center also plays an important role in the ability to perform groundbreaking research, with particular attention to issues facing marine estuaries on Long Island. The new center, which cost about $8.3 million, was made possible through $6.9 million secured in the New York State budget by Senator Ken LaValle and Assemblyman Fred Thiele. The remainder was paid for by Stony Brook University. “This new Marine Science Center is another step forward for the Southampton Campus of Stony Brook University,” said Thiele.

“We’ve seen a lot of steps forward; from the growth of Southampton Arts, Semester by the Sea, residential students living here, and our continued discussions that will eventually yield in the move of Southampton Hospital to the Southampton Campus. It is great to see so much progress here.” The facility has been under construction since June 2012 and will connect SoMAS to Shinnecock Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The new center replaced three small existing buildings and houses a 2500-square foot Sea Water Lab with a computerized circulation system including four different temperature lines, as well as recirculation capabilities and quarantine and culture rooms. Two wet labs, an analytical lab, classrooms, a conference room, and other lab and support spaces, including an outdoor tank area, are also featured in the newly constructed facility. “Now in addition to the Stony Brook campus, Southampton will be pivotal in the economic development of Long Island and will help advance Start-Up NY, particularly on the East end of Long Island,” said LaValle during his remarks at the ribbon cutting ceremony Friday morning. “I am confident that research done

here over time will help resolve the problems we face on our waters, and hopefully put an end to our hearing about brown tides and algae blooms on our waterways.” According to the National Research Council, SoMAS is ranked sixth in the United States among marine and atmospheric sciences graduate programs. President Samuel Stanley said the new center will solidify Stony Brook’s reputation as the strongest undergraduate marine sciences program on the east coast and one of the best in the United States. “The construction of the Marine Sciences Center and other initiatives . . . make Stony Brook a great training ground for the world’s future though leaders: citizens who will promote policies and take actions in our communities to tackle the substantial environmental problems we face and it will lead the way in creating a sustainable future for our environment and for humanity,” said Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dennis Assanis.

Throne-Holst Presents Tentative Budget For 2014 By Emily Toy
It’s that time of year again . . . This week Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst presented the 2014 tentative budget, proposing to freeze the town tax levy for the fourth year in a row. “After navigating the worst economic downturn experienced in decades, weathering three major storms in Irene, Sandy and Nemo, and working to correct years of fiscal mismanagement, I am extremely proud to say the Town’s financial health has been restored, and to offer residents a fourth consecutive budget that is responsible, intelligent, and holds the line on Town taxes,” she said. The proposed tentative budget absorbs more than $2 million in increased fixed costs caused by increasing pension and health care costs, to name a few. It also removes two funded, yet vacant, positions: civil engineer and deputy assessor. Four new positions are included in the proposed tentative budget: heavy equipment operator, two maintenance mechanics, and a groundskeeper. A two percent raise for nonunion employees exclusive of elected officials and appointed boards was also included as was minor promotions and adjustments for key staff in several divisions. “Four years ago I committed to restoring the Town’s fiscal health and achieving better value for tax dollars by re-organizing government to run more efficiently,” ThroneHolst said. “And I have done just that.” Last year, the town finished with a surplus of $3.9 million across its five major operating funds (general, police district, town outside village, highway and public safety communications), according to a press release Monday afternoon. Residents can expect to pay $239.10 in town taxes for a home valued at $600,000. Debt service appropriations would be reduced as a result of effective refunding, amounting to a savings of $192,000 in 2014 and continued restricted borrowing savings of $575,000. Also, the town’s outstanding debt dips from its all time high of $73 million in 2009 and is projected to decrease 30 percent by 2016. I n J u n e , S t a n d a r d & Po o r upgraded Southampton’s credit rating from AA to AA+, stating, “In our view Southampton has substantially stabilized and
rebalanced its financial position since 2009. Officials have also implemented several reforms to manage the town’s finances, including codifying its fund balance policy into law ; centralizing purchasing; new budget and purchasing software; adopting a capital spending cap; two-year budgeting; and revising the town code for capital budgeting. We believe these reforms should allow the town to maintain a higher degree of control over its
expenditures, which should lead to more stable finances.” Throne-Holst said her proposed budget and the current financial condition prepares the town for any number of challenges that may lie ahead. “This is the end of my second term as supervisor,” she said, “and regardless of what happens on Election Day I am confident the Town is in excellent shape and on a financially sustainable course.” Emily@indyeastend.com

. . . And some area residents were wishing it was “No” time. The cable network began shooting a pilot for a new drama series locally last week, prompting complaints from residents irate over clogged residential roads, closed beach access, and noisy nighttime shoots. “The Affair” stars Golden Globe nominee Ruth Wilson (The Lone Ranger) and Dominic West (“The Wire”). According to the application for a film permit submitted to the Town of East Hampton, a crew of 60 people and a total of 13 trucks and four production vehicles would film on select days from September 23 through Friday at 10 locations, including a private home on Marine Boulevard in Amagansett, Ditch Plains and Turtle Cove beaches, The Lobster Roll on the Napeague Stretch, Camp Hero, Napeague Meadow Road, Tuthill Road in Montauk, and Cedar Lawn Cemetery. Shooting last Friday at the
cemetery located off Cooper Lane elicited ire from a particularly angered caller, Town Clerk Fred Overton reported. Just one lane of traffic was open, and a large crew, set up a drum kit in amongst the grave markers. Overton, who signed off on the application, emphasized that the town has no power to control the actions of the film crew when it’s on private property. It does have a say when it comes to such public areas as the parking lot at Napeague Beach. Orange cones closed it off to the public for several days. Overton said the permit was approved with the understanding that some parking spaces would be kept available for the public. Once complaints started coming in, he said he contacted security and was told they would be making parking available. “Apparently, they did not,” he said Monday. Area residents in Beachampton were offered money for allowing the film crew to use their driveways, $1000 Overton said. They were also Continued ON page 34.

Veto Disappoints
Assemblyman Fred Thiele this week expressed “disappointment” with the veto of A.73, a bill which would have established a procedure to evaluate the claim of the Montaukett Indians for state recognition. Thiele stated, “In 1910, in the case of Pharoah v. Benson a state court, in resolving a simple land dispute, declared the Montaukett Indians to be extinct, while their leadership and members were sitting in the court room. A subsequent court decision in 1994 commented that this decision was of ‘questionable propriety.’ My legislation was designed to give the Montaukett Indians an opportunity to reverse this century old injustice. Unfortunately, the veto

will only serve to perpetuate this questionable court decision.” Co-sponsored with Senator Ken LaValle, the legislation would have permitted the Montaukett Indians to submit a documented petition to the New York Secretary of State containing evidence to support state recognition. The Secretary of State would then evaluate the petition and make a recommendation for the approval or denial of state recognition. The Secretary of State would use the same standards as the federal standards for recognition. The bill authorized the Secretary of State to adopt rules and regulations, including the level of proof and documentation necessary to

meet the criteria. The final decision on State recognition would then be made by the State Legislature. According to Thiele, the veto message incorrectly states that “this legislation would mandate that the state adopt the federal government’s intensive, expensive and lengthy process. The state does not have the extensive resources to conduct such an investigation.” Thiele asserted, “First, the legislation only required that the state use the federal standards for recognition, not the same federal process. In fact, the bill expressly states that the Secretary of State shall ‘establish the level of proof and documentation that shall be necessary to meet the mandatory criteria.’ “Further, under the bill, it is the Montauketts that have the burden to meet the recognition standards, not the state. In addition, it is well

established in state administrative law that the Secretary of State, as part of the rules and regulations, could have charged a review fee in order to cover the state expense of review, just as the state does for every other state application, such as the review of permits, licenses, or environmental impact statements. This would not have cost New York State taxpayers a nickel. The better question is ‘What is the cost to our state to perpetuate this injustice?’” Thiele noted that the Governor has directed the Department of State to study the issue to determine the merits of Montaukett recognition. He stated, “My resolve to obtain justice from New York State for the Montauketts is in no way diminished by the veto. My efforts will continue and it is my hope that when the Secretary of State studies the issue, he will come to the same conclusion as I have: that the Montauketts state recognition should never have been extinguished in the first place. The Secretary of State should consult with the leadership of the Montauketts in undertaking this study, and it should be open, transparent, and expeditious so that the State Legislature can take action in the 2014 session.”

The sand alone was not enough, while the groins struck many community members and environmentalists as too much. That left three options. Several times Couch described the first option he outlined as “the most expensive.” It entails using sand to create a 90-foot wide beach -- the width needed to provide protection for up to a “hundred year event.” Couch said future maintenance costs would be the highest of all the options and estimated them at $1000 per foot. However, the costs of all the alternatives are still being calculated. While the federal government will pay for all start up or installation costs, it won’t go forward with a plan unless it’s the most cost effective. Speaking of the “sand alone” option, Couch said that in terms of demonstrating a cost benefit ratio, “It doesn’t look like under any scenario we could afford this.” County Legislator Jay Schneiderman felt the next option was cost prohibitive as well. It involves relocating or acquiring buildings along the two-mile strip from South Eton Drive to just east of Surfside Avenue and replacing them with a dune. If the budget for purchasing hotels and restaurants is $25 million, Schneiderman said Army Corps officials might as well save some time and take the notion off the table. Wilkinson pointed out that, the hotels’ cache is attached to their

ocean frontage. He also observed that the higher the project’s price tag, the less enthused the feds are going to be. Couch dubbed the last option, a sand-covered sea wall, the most cost effective. A “reinforced dune” made out of stones and sand would provide a line of protection just south of the hotels, with a 35foot wide beach in front of the revetment. It could be designed so that the stone is never exposed, Couch said. Though he knew of no such seawall elsewhere on Long Island, Couch said they have been built on other locations in the country. A report outlining each alternative will be drafted for review by the town board by November. Once a consensus is reached, a final report will include the recommendation.

The San Gennaro Feast of the Hamptons brings Italian delicacies, vendors, carnival rides and games for the bambinos, plus lots of live music to Good Ground Road in downtown Hampton Bays. The fun runs from 10 AM till 10 PM Saturday and Sunday. An opening ceremony parade, led by Grand Marshal Dominick Spoto, starts the festivities at 10:30 Saturday morning. An array of musical acts will perform throughout the weekend and fireworks cap the evening on Saturday at 9 PM. San Gennaro was a bishop in Benevento, Italy and was martyred in 305 A.D. Neapolitans pray to San Gennaro for protection from fire, earthquakes and the eruption of Vesuvius. The San Gennaro Feast in New York City’s Little Italy, the first home for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who came to America from Italy, has been a fall staple for 87 years. K.M.

RICK’S SPACE The Great Outdoors I consider myself one of those guys that digs the great outdoors. I always think about tying a canoe to the roof of the truck, packing my gear, loading up the rifle, stringing up the old fishing poles, and heading up to the mountains. I would trap, hunt and fish for my food, make campfires and teach my son about nature while my two dogs kept the bear away. But I don’t have a rifle. And there are no mountains around here, unless you count Bridgehampton racetrack. And I don’t have any gear (though I do have a pair of galoshes). Oh yeah, I don’t have a son or a dog, either. Still, I’m always on the verge on
making my dream a reality. A visit to the L.L. Bean Flagship store in Freeport, Maine, almost did me in. The King Pine Heavy Duty Dome tent would make a perfect home away from home. There was a “no fly” zone — a screened in section to hang out and . . . whittle. It sleeps six comfortably, as I pointed out to Karen. “Big deal,” she said. “Unless the tent comes with an air conditioner, cable TV, and running water, you’ll be going alone.” Too bad for her, I was going to upgrade to the Big Woods Dome eight-person tent with her in mind. Besides, I was after the serenity of a babbling brook, not a blabbering

wife, so there. I picked out the queen-size Aerobed Air mattress and an REI Expedition Sleeping bag, guaranteed to keep you warm and cozy in minus 20-degree weather. “It looks like something a mummy is put in,” Karen said. And it did, too. I then outfitted my outdoor kitchen. Coleman Steel-Belted cooler. Whisperlite Stove. Fold out table – seats six. “Maybe you can invite some opossum over for dinner,” Karen cracked. Soon, I had spent thousands of dollars. Waterproof matches. Coleman Air Pump. MSR Miniworks EX Water Filtration System. “What’s that for?” Karen asked. “You can drink the water from the babbling brook,” I told her. “That’s what the Native Americans did.” Fire pit? Got it. “You’re really going to do this?” I assured her I was. With or without her. Manitoba, Montana, Bronxville, somewhere where the Buffalo run free and a man lives on his wiles, skinning and trapping, eatin’ rabbit and poached squab (with fig jam and truffles), just me and the moon and the stars. “I’ll tell you what, Jeremiah Johnson. Set your gear up in the backyard and if you still want to go camping tomorrow I’ll go with you.” Ah! There is nothing like a challenge to get a man going! I unloaded the tent. Hmmmmm. A lot of pieces and parts. It appeared that the frame wasn’t really a frame (yet) but dozens of pieces of pipe that somehow fit together – if one had an advanced degree in nuclear engineering science. Oh well – better git the fire goin’— hell, temperature’s sinking fast. Must be 60, 62 degrees. Good

And the table collapsed when I put the canteen on it. Oh by the way, this isn’t a portable radio. I can tell because it has to be plugged into a wall outlet. Does your ice cream maker come with one?” With that, she went into the house for the night. Not me though – pork and beans are perfectly good cold, and I still had my toasty sleeping bag. I started a fire and began singing the old camp songs I had learned as a child: “Home On The Range,” “Stairway To Heaven” and the rest. I crawled into my coffin . . . er . . . bed and tried to fall asleep. My stomach was rumbling. Growling. Uh oh.

I shipped the gear back to L.L. Bean the next morning.

The debacle that is the Affordable Care Act took on a new wrinkle recently when many of the nation’s employers called the president’s bluff. Instead of providing health insurance for their employees, as they do now, these corporations are going to give their employees a cash stipend and let them buy insurance on the new, “Open” marketplaces – some of which give buyers only one or two choices by the way. Why are these employers taking this route? Because for every employee who earns under the threshold – about $43,000 – the government will subsidize the cost of the insurance. What it means in lay terms is the government never anticipated having to subsidize many million more Americans than it originally planned. Where will the money come from? The rest of us, of course. So in addition to paying for our own insurance we’ll be paying for theirs as well. This in essence, is the “welfare state” Obama has envisioned all along.

Possible Code Violations Dear Rick, This past Saturday I had an opportunity to answer questions along with the other candidates at a debate hosted by the Group for Good Government. Thanks to the GGG for inviting me. The last 14 years as East Hampton’s Town Clerk means I have attended over 800 Board meetings dealing with a vast assortment of topics. Listening at those meetings, together with my prior experience as a Town Trustee and Assessor, gave me an opportunity to answer questions based on historical knowledge. I am an environmentalist with a concern for Montauk and the potential destruction they face if the Town Board does not act before the end of this year. And as someone who has volunteered with the Springs Fire Department for 48 years, I have witnessed first-hand possible code violations and know that Code Enforcement must have the right tools to do its job.

Larry’s Snub Dear Rick, Just read Larry Cantwell’s renewed dismissal of the Republican voters’ offer of support proffered as a result of their September 10 primary. I leave it up to the voters in November as to whether or not the reasoning behind Larry’s snub of the second largest party in East Hampton holds water. For me it does not, especially since we keep getting a variation on the same theme -- “petty partisan politics.” Great way to start an administration! Larry’s campaign cannot have left any doubt in any voter’s mind that he supports his Democrat running mates; and that is fine. I would expect nothing less. And none of
A Sad Farewell Barrister’s, the Southampton eatery that has been part of the local fabric under one name or the other for as long as anyone can remember, sadly, closed its doors this week. This was a place that was for locals, despite the trendy address and the influx of tourists. Many of us remember it as the Ebb Tide, like Barrister’s, an affordable restaurant with delicious food and a lively bar. Before that it was a popular luncheonette favored by the younger crowd, especially after school. It was a place to go on a bitter February night to warm up, and be greeted by a familiar face and surrounded by old friends. All the best to Michael Ferran, who started the business with Digger McMahon more than three decades ago. Mr. McMahon passed last year, and the business is for sale. We bemoan losing another little piece of our past. Another restaurant will probably fill the space, but not with the allure — and memories – of Barrister’s.
the grass roots Republican voters, who have offered him their line, would expect any less of him either. Where his “reasoning” for refusal of the Republican line breaks down is when he acknowledges that he does appear with the Republican candidates for Town Board on the Independence line. If he is so disturbed by the “appearance” of nonsupport for his fellow Democrat candidates that may arise (in his mind only!) by heading the Republican ticket, then why did he accept the Independence line and support back when his campaign began? Again he is incorrect when he says that he heads only one party’s ticket with his Town Board running mates. Did you forget Larry, that in addition to the Democrat line you head the Working Families Party ticket also? Remember the Working Families Party with 37 registered voters in East Hampton, whose support you accepted while thumbing your nose at the over 4000 registered Republicans? Sorry Larry, but all of this makes no sense except when viewed for what it is – playing politics. Something you said would not happen in a Cantwell administration. Funny, I believed you, as did many Republican voters, when you
first emerged on the East Hampton Town political scene. I guess politics really does breed strange bedfellows. How disappointing. BEVERLY BOND

Frank and his family have offered to sponsor a Maidstone Clean Up as an annual event, and as president of Duck Creek Farm Association (DCFA), I know we are looking forward to working with him, as I’m sure our co-hosts will be. Although the Ganley clan has spread far and wide, their roots are here in the best tradition of “Local By Choice,” my Trustee campaign slogan. Like many of us, Frank is looking forward to moving back when he retires, as are other of his family members. East Hampton is a special place for us all. As an example, this was not a highpowered media event, but more like a walk in the park with friends. Even so, Job Potter, a member of DCFA and Springs resident was there, and so were Steve Tekulsky and Larry Cantwell, though they live in the Village. We’re all grateful for their help in our hamlet. A special thank you also to Rossetti Perchik of the Clamshell Foundation and Stephen Walsh for their help in cutting up and disposing of about 14 feet of pressure treated abandoned dock that’s been on my nerves, and leaching into the wetlands for a couple of months. I’ve been harping about neighborliness for a few months now, in particular so that we can all better enjoy Maidstone Park and its beaches. It’s gratifying to know that some people are evidently listening. Thanks to everyone for their help, and finally, to the Town of East Hampton for their daily effort in dealing with this and all of our parks and roads so effectively. And the next time you see someone

Tom Halvquist I love the Fall. I love the weather. I love the surf. I love that so many of the people go back to where they came from. It’s just beautiful here especially in the Fall. I hope that as things change the kids get to enjoy the same beautiful place I grew up in. Finn Li I like the Fall sports. And I play soccer. And Fall is really beautiful. It’s nice to watch the leaves change color and turn orange. And I like the holidays a lot. And Halloween is always fun. The haunted house at Mulford Farm is fun to go to. Jason Reed I like the weather and the coolness. Everone’s gone and you can get a parking space. And I’m a big fan of Halloween. I go out in costume. I went out as a gladiator last year and won some contests. throw something out their vehicle’s window - throw it back at ‘em. I do. IRA BARACOS
Unwieldy Act Dear Editor, I hear that no one reads letters to the editor anymore, well, besides a few political animals like you and me. So I’m wondering if I should even bother to once again warn the people of the East End of the tyranny that is upon us. We are over-regulated, over-taxed - and now unemployed in outrageous numbers. I can’t believe that people continue to vote in those who oppress us with socialistic chains that were for two centuries banished from our shores. Currently, we are facing the unwieldy Affordable Care Act, which the majority of the voters reject, and this administration has admitted they’ve had to raise taxes “on a few things” to pay for it. The UN Arms Treaty has been signed by the Secretary of State, while shipping weapons to the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, and trying to keep American citizens from owning their own self-defense weapon. Common Core is invading our schools. Plus, this administration has been going
to court asking for permission to mandate everything from choice of our religious ministers to adding more regulation to our tax preparers. Employers are making the necessary cuts in the hours of employees, to stay in business, since they’d go bankrupt paying for Obamacare, which has increased the price of private insurance by 100300 percent. It seems everything this administration does is pointed toward ruining business and taxing us out of house and home. That doesn’t mean that our state, county and local leaders are blameless. Everyone seems to think they can continue to spend, never cut, and expect that miraculously, somehow, the money to pay off these horrendous debts will suddenly materialize in the future. When business can no longer provide employment, people turn to disability or welfare - but who pays that bill? The fiat money printed by the Fed has no backing, and if no one is working, no one will be paying taxes, so how long can they continue to pay people not to work? No, the economy is going to crash and almost everyone will feel the pain that is coming. We cannot live like this and expect a society to survive. Continued on page 23.

Are the voters done with this tax and spend mentality or will they sleepwalk into serfdom? Wake up and don’t vote for those who continually find new ways to tax us, and never find a single thing they can eliminate from these bulging budgets. LYNDA A.W. EDWARDS
Undeserved Credence Hey Rick, Having endured countless conversations with my Leftist friends just like the ones Jerry so eloquently describes in last week’s column, I was chuckling and nodding in sympathy with his frustration at their complete indifference to the facts and details of so many issues. Sex with an intern in the Oval Office-so what? Obama openly saying he will not enforce certain laws with which he disagrees? No problem, even though he swore an oath to uphold those laws and even though he insists that Obamacare is “the law of the land” and cannot be tinkered with. Obama’s radically left-wing upbringing, the IRS used as a weapon against political opponents, absurd lies about the massacre at Benghazi--what difference does it make? Yes, we’ve all been there. But then, wham, out of nowhere comes a gratuitous, irrelevant and totally unfounded swipe at the Tea Party. Fact is, the only real energy

and momentum on the Right comes from the Tea Party groups and their focus on the Constitution and the vision of the Founders--limited government, maximum individual liberty, etc. It was the Tea Party that gave Republicans control of the House, providing the only bulwark, other than talk radio, against the flood of Socialist policies Obama is sending our way. I have attended several Tea Party rallies, and seen many more on TV. They are invariably orderly, polite, and free of the venom that characterizes Occupy events. They even clean up after themselves. Can it be that the fearless Jerry Della Femina felt he needed to show a little balance so he won’t be left out of too many Upper West Side cocktail parties and wineand-brie openings? If so, there are plenty of old line Establishment Republicans worthy of scorn--the clueless John Boehner, the dotty John McCain, or Old Oatmeal Mouth himself, Mitch McConnell. But an even better and more deserving target would be the Occupy movement, whose gatherings are rife with vandalism, squalor, violence (including murder and rape), and all sorts of vulgarities and crudities adorning their signs and banners. And unlike the grassroots Tea Party, they are largely funded by the mega-billionaire, America-hating Goldfinger of the Left, George Soros. Come on, Jerry, there are better ways to make nice with your Leftist acquaintances than to give undeserved credence to the smear campaign against the Tea Party. REG CORNELIA

Step Up For The Ta-tas Breast Cancer Awareness month was slated to kick off last night with the traditional pink ribbon tree lighting sponsored by the chamber of commerce in Southampton Village. On Friday from noon till 5 PM ladies can donate their bras at a recycling event kick off at the Seawater Spa at Gurney’s Inn in Montauk. Throughout the month the Bra Recycling Agency will be collecting brassieres as a way to eliminate waste in landfills while participants contribute as little as $2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital. A reception will be held from 6 to 7 PM at Gurney’s. On Saturday, the “Real Men Wear Pink” cocktail party held at the Maidstone Club Tennis House in East Hampton benefits local breast cancer organizations, as does the Shelter Island 5K at Crescent Beach on October 19. On the same night, the annual Birdhouse Auction held from 5:30 to 8 PM at the Peter Marcelle Gallery in Bridgehampton brings out locals and their crafty birdhouse designs.

Riverhead Police responded to a grisly call early Sunday morning: there was an injured woman there, bleeding profusely from multiple stab wounds. The woman told police her boyfriend had stabbed her at Tanger Mall and then forced her to drive him around until she finally escaped the vehicle. She was transported to the hospital via ambulance. An investigation followed, and that night police moved in on their suspect in Mastic Beach: he was identified as Paul C. Thompson, 24, of Calverton. Thompson was charged with Second Degree Assault, a felony, and several other charges, including choking the victim.

Continued from page 13. offered earplugs and sleep masks, which did little to quell complaints from beachfront homeowners enduring spotlights and noise that lasted into the early morning hours. The crew was supposed to pack up by midnight each night, but Overton acknowledged noise from trucks leaving the site lasted much longer. One resident forwarded pictures to Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, who shared them with The Independent. One photo shows trucks parked along Jacqueline Drive with the caption “If there was a fire, no fire truck could get through.” Another shot shows a police car placed across Marine Boulevard last Friday night. “If any resident comes out tonight they will not be able to get to their house,” the caption reads. Van Scoyoc expressed shock and dismay that the town board wasn’t given a head’s up about the filming, or the chance to review the extensive application. It’s not required, according to the town clerk. The town code doesn’t mandate a town board review or resolution for film permits, Overton said. He sends the requests to the town police and once they estimate costs for any extra cops, the application goes to the town attorney’s office next. If he finds it to be in order, Overton can sign off.

Councilwoman Sylvia Overby isn’t so sure the administrative process Overton described is correct. She found a provision in the town code that allows the town board to establish, amend, adopt or suspend fees for individual permits. “How can I do that if I haven’t seen the application?” she asked rhetorically. Overby recalled other applications being brought to the town board for discussion. In particular she remembered the crew from the show “Royal Pains” asking permission to lens a helicopter landing, “And we all said no. Why didn’t this come to the town board?” Additionally, Overby noted the town code authorizes the chief of police or his designee to determine if the project could pose a threat to public safety or interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic. She said she was aware of instances throughout the week where homeowners were turned back as they attempted to drive to their own houses. The “huge lights” used for night shooting were visible at her house on Bluff Road over a mile away. Overby received a number of complaints from residents who, along with their school-aged children, were kept up all night. In fact, the councilwoman related observations from a teacher she met last week who made note of some children’s changed behavior. “They couldn’t get to sleep because of the lights.” In sum, Overby said she was angry because “I don’t have the detailed story. People are calling and I can’t answer their questions.” Although the full town board wasn’t advised about the shoot, Overton ran the film permit application past Supervisor Bill Wilkinson. Wilkinson, who listed encouraging film companies to use locations in town among his ideas for economic sustainability in East Hampton, gave his okay. When it comes to money, the company paid about $30,000 to film in town for 10 days. According to Overton, they used five area hotels, rented out the American Legion for storing their vehicles and production work for two weeks, and likely ate in area restaurants. “I understand it’s not going to help the people who were inconvenienced, but they did leave a few bucks behind,” he said. When the calls started coming in, Van Scoyoc said the messages were all similar: “We waited all through the disruption of the summer, this is our time. What were you thinking?” Fo r t h e c o u n c i l m a n , “t h e economic trickledown was not enough to justify the sacrilege of being outright banned from the beach in your own town.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com.

Modest Tax Hike In East Hampton
REAL ESTATE
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
IN THE NEWS
Man Dies In Fire
Outgoing East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson released his final budget Monday. The bottom line is a tax increase of 2.76 percent for residents living outside incorporated villages and 1.81 percent for those who reside within village limits. Wilkinson pointed out that when he took office in 2010, “We inherited budgets and spending that were replete with undisciplined financial decision-making and borrowing; We were fortunate to not yield to a cry for bankruptcy.” Wilkinson was alluding to the financial meltdown that sunk the Bill McGintee administration. Despite making up a shortfall that was at one point almost $30 million, Wilkinson pointed out his 2014 budget, at $69.96 million is still 2.46 percent lower than McGintee’s final budget of $71.72 million. “Our motivation was and continues to be quite simple,” Wilkinson wrote. “Let us ensure that we have a municipal government that safeguards our environment and quality of life and that makes this town affordable; not for the “one percenters” but for all those families that for generations have made our town the pride of the East End.”

A tragic fire in Sag Harbor Monday claimed the life of a 90 year-old man. Howard Wesley Carrion was found in his bedroom on Hillside Drive East shortly before 4 PM, apparently a victim of smoke inhalation. Firefighters on the scene said a fire had started in another bedroom of the house. Carrion was somewhat of a legend in the Sag Harbor Hills section. A World War II veteran who served with Patton in France and Germany, he was a driver on the so-called Red Ball Express, a supply line that became the lifeline of the troops on the front line. After the war Carrion earned a Master’s Degree in History and eventually rejoined the U.S. Army. A preliminary investigation by Sag Harbor firefighters determined that an electrical fire broke out in the house. Neighbors saw the flames, and Carrion was taken to Southampton Hospital by ambulance. Suffolk County Arson investigators will take over the investigation, as is customary when there is a fatality. Arrangements hadn’t been announced by the family as of press time.

Bonac Bashed, Falls To 0-3 By Rick Murphy
When East Hampton moved from Division III to Division IV it was claimed that the school was competing against larger enrollment schools and the move would allow them to compete with similar-sized schools. That’s debatable, but one thing is for sure: Conference IV hasn’t been much kinder, at least so far this year. Saturday Elwood/ Glenn walloped East Hampton/ Bridgehampton 42-6 to drop the
Bonackers to 0-3. Cortland Heneveld opened the scoring with a 70-yard run, putting the locals on top. And then the home team exploded for 42 unanswered points. Give Keeshan Boodie the game ball – he ran for 75 yards and a TD, caught two passes, and intercepted two more. Glenn moved to 2-1, a game behind Babylon, Mt. Sinai, and Greenport/Southold/Mattituck.

FANTASY SP By Skippy Brown
RTS
Work That Wire! Allow me to gloat if you will. Not because I’m such a great Fantasy Football player, but because I do everything in my power to win every single game. This week my diligence paid off. Not many of us tabbed Tennessee as a team with a good defense when we were drafting. In fact, on Yahoo only four percent of team owners had the Titans on their teams. But I read a lot, and listen to the Sirius Pro Football channel, which is a treasure trove of valuable information. These are not just Fantasy hacks – the station interviews head coaches, professional scouts, and beat writers from the major cities who cover the pro teams. What I was hearing surprised me. The Titans defense is fast, young, and aggressive. So when it became time to make waiver moves and pickup free agents for Week 4, I made my move. I picked up the Titans for five of my nine teams (the others had equally good or better defenses, like Seattle and Chicago). To make a long story short, I won all five of those games, and why not – The Titans “D” scored a staggering 26 points, the highest of all 32 NFL teams. Had I kept the team defense I had, I would have lost four of those games.

I also picked up Steve Novak, the kicker from San Diego. I had seen him play a week earlier, and he was really striking the ball well. Conversely, some of the kickers I had drafted just weren’t scoring for one reason or another. Novak had a banner day – three field goals and three extra points. The moral of the stor y is simple. You should constantly be monitoring the waiver wire and FA list in your leagues, because every time someone gets picked up someone gets dropped. A case in point is Kenbrell Thompkins, the Patriots’ wide receiver who had two miserable games to start off the season. If you’ve been reading this column, you know we touted him here before the season started. Why? Because Tom Brady has to throw it to someone, and the kid is as good as anybody else on the team. Thompkins started getting dropped in some of my leagues after Week 2. I pounced on him – all he’s done since is score two touchdowns in Week 3 and two more in Week 4. As we progress through the next five weeks, teams will take their “Bye” weeks, meaning each team gets a week off at some point. Coupled with injuries that
Southampton 42-20 Saturday as Greenport et al raced to its best start in years. Quarterback Matt Drinkwater found Gene Allen for a pair of touchdowns late in the first half to break open the game. Drinkwater was 13 of 24 for the day, and hooked up with Allen for four TD passes. Allen had eight receptions for 120 yards. Frank Sierra provided the ground game with 140 rushing yards and two scores. In other Conference IV action
Wyandanch edged Mercy 28-20 for its first win of the young season; the Monarchs dropped to 0-3. Stony Brook (0-3) comes to Southampton Friday for a 6:30 PM kickoff. Babylon plays at Hampton Bays (1-2) the same evening at 7. Port Jeff takes on the North Forkers on the East End, also Friday at 7 PM. East Hampton tackles Center Moriches (2-1) upisland Saturday at 2 PM. In Division III Westhampton won its first game Saturday after two losses, overwhelming Rocky Point 47-7. The Hurricanes get Comsewogue at home Friday at 5:30 PM. Riverhead, 2-1 in Division II, plays at Bay Shore Saturday at 2 PM.
mount up as the season progresses, there is tremendous opportunity for an unknown player to step in and become a progressive Fantasy player. Figuring out who they are is the secret to Fantasy success. Remember one key rule: every single player in the NFL is talented. Most were all-American college players. They are all imposing players with unbelievable skill sets,
and they tend to be a cocky lot – they all think they can be stars. All they need is the opportunity, that is, playing time. “Skippy Brown” recently won the Draft King Spring Fling contest, besting over 1000 other professional fantasy baseball players.

Play Bridge This hand was played last week at the Regional Tournament held in Melville. It is an excellent example of the importance of making overtricks in duplicate bridge. Every NorthSouth team bid 4H and made either 4 or 5 tricks. Those who made 5 tied for top while those who made only 4 tied for bottom. If North plays safe after trumping the second round of diamonds and draws all 4 outstanding trumps (West holds 4 trumps), he will lose one diamond and two clubs. However, a better line of play is to start the clubs, losing the second one. Even if West plays a trump, North will be able to win with the jack, return to his hand with a spade or a diamond ruff and lead his last club trumping with the seven. Then he draws the remaining trumps and loses only one diamond and one club, making five, earning a top score. Any questions or comments can be sent to gaman13927@aol.com.

Fishing Report Shinnecock Bay/Inlet & Ocean The fluke bite ended with some incredible ocean fishing, too bad the season wasn’t longer. Most anglers targeting fluke did extremely well with fish to 10 pounds in 40 to 50 feet of water east of the inlet. The ocean is loaded with bait outside the inlet. The albies are crashing the rain bait, and the bluefish and bass are on the sand eels and mullet. Trolled umbrella rigs are doing the job on the blues along with jigs. The bass have been taking live baits, including eels in the inlet on
the night tides. During daylight hours the blues are tearing up the live baits intended for the bass. Triggerfish are still around in good numbers around the buoy chains at the inlet. Chum logs and clam baits will get you a cooler full. The seabass bite has been good on the reef and local wrecks with fish to 51 pounds reported. Clam and squid baits are best. Reports of blackfish have come in, all released to date, at the Ponquogue Bridge and from the inlet’s jetties just in time for the opener on Saturday. We will be stocked with crabs for the opening.

Blues are taking most everything you throw but the tins will do just fine. The bass have been taking most lures thrown as well but it seems the bigger fish have been taking darters in the dark. The bassing is still best on the dawn or dusk tides while the blues can be taken on the daylight tides.

The End Of An Era
Watching Yankee pitchers Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte close the door on their respective careers last week were defining moments for the organization. Rivera ends his career as the best closer of all-time, as well as the most clutch ever. Rivera’s career ERA was 2.21. But in the postseason, his ERA dropped to an absurd 0.70. Andy Pettitte was not as dominant, but still had an incredibly impressive 256 career wins, and a 19-11 record in the playoffs. Regardless, both pitchers were defined by the postseason. Along with Rivera closing out postseason games, seeing the lefty Pettitte, peering over his mitt, staring down a batter became an October staple over the past two decades. As these two move on to the next stage of their lives, the Yankees won’t play in October for just the second time in the past 19 years; and right on cue, the organization hasn’t seen this many question marks since before they arrived in the Bronx. Starting at the top, it’s becoming entirely possible that the Yankees
What Can
could lose manager Joe Girardi. The Chicago native may see his hometown Cubs as a team on the upswing under general manager Theo Epstein. Also, growing up a Cubs fan, the challenge of being the first manager since 1908 to lead the franchise to a World Series victory must be compelling. Down in Washington, Davey Johnson isn’t expected to return to manage the Nationals. While they missed the playoffs, there is an enormous amount of young talent in the Beltway. Could they make a push for Girardi? It’s very unusual to hear of a manager, especially an incumbent, turn down the Yankee job, but it is an unusual time in the Bronx. On the field, the Yankees have no identity, limited talent, and more questions than answers heading into next season. Alex Rodriguez is possibly facing a season long suspension. Mark Teixeira will be 34 next season, coming off a year he played only 13 games and underwent wrist surgery. Curtis Granderson could be gone, and no one has a clue what Derek Jeter is

anymore. If possible, the pitching staff has even more concerns. The most consistent pitcher for the Yankees was 38-year old Hiroki Kuroda. But Kuroda is a free agent and will consider a return to Japan or the West Coast. Supposed ace C.C. Sabathia ended his season early with a hamstring strain, and a 14-13 record, with an ERA near 5. His ERA (4.78) and WHIP (1.37) were both career worsts for the 33 year old. Andy Pettitte started thirty games and is obviously gone, and so is Phil Hughes and his 29 starts. When you consider all the question marks facing the Yankees, their managerial position doesn’t look as appealing. To go along with the current roster issues, the farm system is barren, and ownership continues to discuss the possibility of staying under the luxury tax

threshold of $189 million for next season. If Girardi re-ups with the Yankees, and the team struggles, fans and media will eventually call for his job. Fair or not, that’s how it will go. It always does with such a high profile position in New York. If Girardi takes over in Chicago, the hometown boy would have a grace period as the team keeps rebuilding, and will have plenty of leeway with a downtrodden fan base. In Washington, the media scrutiny surrounding the Nationals can’t even compare to the Yankees. Girardi’s options outside of the Bronx look more appealing. I never thought I’d see the day.
